Relaxer in T Minus 7 Days!

11 weeks of newgrowth, I will relax at 14 weeks

If you follow me on Twitter, then you already know that I got extremely sick this past week. I’m not back to 100% yet, but I am feeling much better.

My relaxer is next week Saturday and I’m beyond excited. I will find out whether I made waist length in 2011. Now I know this is 2012, but since I only do length checks after each relaxer I had to wait.

My expectation? Honestly, I think I cut too much in 2011 to make waist length before the end of the year. So I think I will be about 1″ shy of my stated goal. No big deal because I know that if I hadn’t trimmed I would have made my goal. Knowing you can achieve something is just as important as actually achieving it.

If I did make waist length, then I will likely trim 1″ to have a fresh start this year. My goal this year is to reach hip length in 2012. The longest my hair has been was a few inches below waist length, which was in January 2010.

After this relaxer, I plan to start doing my winter wig regimen. The unseasonably warm weather spared us snow so far, which is why I haven’t needed to wear my wig. (And to think, “they” say that global warming isn’t real).

I plan to wash my hair tomorrow and will post more newgrowth pictures.

Are you relaxing your hair this week? How was your stretch?
